Let:
x= quarters
y= dimes


x+y=67
and
.25x+.10y=12.40

x=67-y

.25(67-y)+.10y=12.40
16.75-.25y+10y=12.40
16.75-.15y=12.40
Lets rearrange this:
-.15y+16.75=12.40
        -16.75    -16.75
-.15y=-4.35
the negatives cancel out
.<u>15y</u>=<u>4.35
</u>.15<em /><em>     <u /></em>.15
y=29

Back to the original x=67-y
x=67-29
x=38

So,
x=38
y=29

If f(x)=8-10x and g(x) =5x +4, what is the value of (fog)(-2)?
swat32

Answer:

  68

Step-by-step explanation:

Any function is evaluated by putting the argument value where the variable is, then doing the arithmetic. When the argument is another function value, that function value is evaluated first.

__

<h3>f∘g</h3>

The "o" in (fog) is a stand-in for the "ring operator" (∘) which is the operator used to signify a composition. A composition is evaluated right-to-left. That means (f∘g)(x) ≡ f(g(x)). The value of g(x) is found first, and is operated on by the function f.

Writing the composition in the form f(g(x)) lets you identify the layers of parentheses. As with any expression evaluation, the Order of Operations applies. It tells you to evaluate the expression in the innermost parentheses and work your way out.

<h3>g(-2)</h3>

To evaluate (f∘g)(-2) = f(g(-2)), we must first evaluate g(-2). That is ...

  g(x) = 5x +4

  g(-2) = 5(-2) +4 = -10 +4 = -6 . . . . . put -2 where x is, do the math

<h3>f(g(-2))</h3>

Now that we know g(-2) = -6, we know this expression is ...

  f(-6) = 8 -10(-6) = 8 +60 = 68 . . . . . substitute for x in 8-10x

Then the value we're looking for is ...

  (f∘g)(-2) = 68

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

This type of study design is

Clinical Trial

Step-by-step explanation:

  • It is clinical trial because in this study design a treatment is given to the individuals and then we observe this treatment. In this experiment, we are studying the effects by giving 500 mg of Vitamin and Placebo to the soldiers.
  • It is not a cross-sectional study because this type of study is used to analyze characteristic of the population depending upon data but this study is not used for disease.
  • It is also not a case-control study as well as prospective cohort study because case-control study is used to observe the new cases of a disease while prospective cohort study is used for determining risks or exposure factors of a disease.
  • It is not a community trial as in which a community is under observation like a city or a country and it is also not a historical prospective cohort study because in this study type, we observe the cohorts (similar objects) with the different qualities. They are studied on the basis of these qualities.

A box contains 10 green marbles and 11 white marbles. If the first marble chosen was a green marble, what is the probability of
Neko [114]

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning, the number of marbles in the box are:

10 green marbles

11 white marbles

The first marble chosen is green, and then it is not replaced in the box. Therefore, the number of green marbles left in the box is 9.

Therefore, the total number of marbles left in the box is:

n=9+11=20

Now we want to find the probability to choose a white marble. The number of white marble is

w=11

Therefore, the probability of choosing a white marble is:

p(w)=\frac{w}{n}=\frac{11}{20}
